🌿 Slimming & Mediterranean Tips

  • Use grilled chicken, tuna, or shrimp for lean protein.
  • Replace almond flour with cauliflower rice + egg crust if you want even fewer calories.
  • Add spinach, zucchini, or artichokes for extra Mediterranean flavor.
  • Swap feta for goat cheese or omit for a lighter version.

🍴 Serving Ideas

  • Pair with a side of Greek salad or zucchini noodles.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days — reheat in oven or air fryer.
  • Great for meal prep or healthy lunches on the go.
